Non-surgical endodontic retreatment, step by step — Vivek Hegde and P.D. Joshi on rescuing failed root canals
Failed root canals arrive without a manual, and confident retreatment is a skill worth building deliberately. Retreatment in Endodontics gives you that in seventeen focused lessons and just over three hours, taught by microendodontists Vivek Hegde and P.D. Joshi — from diagnosis and crown disassembly to every gutta-percha removal method and ledge management.

What you’ll be able to do

Inside the course
Getting back into the tooth
The fundamentals module covers diagnosis, how to classify the procedure, and the disassembly techniques — including cutting cleanly through PFM crowns and reopening a post-and-core case.
Clearing the old filling
A dedicated module compares every gutta-percha removal strategy side by side, from heat and solvents to H-files, rotary and ultrasonics, and adds silver point removal.
Cases and advanced problems
You watch a full re-root-canal demonstration and a mandibular premolar case, then tackle ledge management, the different irrigation approach retreatment needs, and where its limits lie.
